Iranian Missiles Crash into Syrian Houses, Causing Material Damage

Syria announced that some residential areas in Syria's southern Daraa province were damaged due to Israeli and Iranian attacks, according to SANA News Agency. Material Damage Israeli air defenses shot down several Iranian drones over Daraa causing only material damage with no reported causalities. On Monday, Israel's air defenses intercepted an Iranian drone in the northern neighborhood of the city of Nawa leaving a partial damage into one building, according to Syria's state-run Alikhbaria TV. 'Israeli warplanes and Iranian drones and missiles violate Syrian airspace on a near-daily basis since the outbreak of hostilities between the two countries,' Sheikh Ahmed Arab, an imam and preacher at a mosque in the city of Nawa, told Asharq Al-Awsat. Meanwhile, another Iranian drone crashed near a house in the village of Khirbet Qais causing no injuries or material losses, Local outlet Daraa 24 reported. 'Their aerial confrontations unfold above our heads, and debris from aircraft and missiles often falls in towns and villages like Nawa, al-Sanamayn, al-Rafid, and Nafaah, causing material damage,' Arab added. Furthermore, Israeli forces intercepted an Iranian missile in 'Horan Free' gathering that landed near the town of Jasim in northern Daraa. The missile ignited a fire in a tent housing a Bedouin family, but no injuries were reported. 'It's deeply troubling and worrisome for us as civilians, but we are powerless to stop it,' he said. A Call for Protecting Syrian Airspace In this context, Arab highlighted the necessity of protecting the Syrian airspace and urged the need for strict measures to prevent both Israeli and Iranian missiles from operating over Syria. 'There must be international oversight to stop Israeli warplanes and Iranian drones and missiles from violating Syrian airspace,' he told Asharq Al-Awsat. Israeli-Iranian Tensions On June 13, Israel launched a wave of airstrikes on Iran under the name of Operation Rising Lion. The military campaign targeted Iran's nuclear facilities and killed top military commanders and nuclear scientists. As a response, Iran launched a retaliatory wave of missiles against Israel and targeted Tel Aviv. Israel also killed three more Iranian nuclear scientists, bringing the total number of scientists slain to nine, Gulf News reported.
